McCloskey Among Four Uncertain for Ulster's URC Quarter-Final.

There's some uncertainty around Ulster and Ireland center Stuart McCloskey's availability for their United Rugby Championship quarter-final against Leinster this Saturday.

Ulster's upcoming United Rugby Championship quarter-final against Leinster may see some key players sidelined due to injury concerns. 

Stuart McCloskey, the 31-year-old center, had to withdraw from last weekend's match due to a groin issue. 

Full-back Ethan McIlroy also missed the game due to a back problem, while locks Alan O'Connor and Kieran Treadwell were substituted early due to injuries.

These four players, including McCloskey, are considered doubtful for the quarter-final clash at the Aviva Stadium. 

On the Leinster side, Irish international center Garry Ringrose is expected to be available after recovering from his absence since the Six Nations. However, they are keeping an eye on the fitness of back-row player Jack Conan.

This match will mark the third encounter between Ulster and Leinster this season, with Ulster securing victories in both home and away matches during the URC's regular season.
